TikTok pushes US Supreme Court to rule that divest-or-ban law is unconstitutional; Trump weighs in

Quick Summary:

Oral arguments before the high court are set for January 10, nine days before the divest-or-ban law is to go into effect.

According to TikTok, ByteDance was “founded by Chinese entrepreneurs, but today, roughly 60 per cent of the company is beneficially owned by global institutional investors”.“Congress has no legitimate interest in disrupting the US operator of a US speech platform to alter editorial choices about the mix of content to disseminate – whether or not Congress deems some aspect of that content mix foreign propaganda,” the brief said.

In the filing, TikTok described itself as a US company, though it is owned by ByteDance, which was started in Beijing in 2012.
